Microsecond dark-exciton valley polarization memory in two-dimensional heterostructures by Jiang, Chongyun, Xu, Weigao, Rasmita, Abdullah, Huang, Zumeng, Li, Ke, Xiong, Qihua, Gao, Wei-bo

“…The lifetime of the dark excitons shows magnetic field and temperature dependence. The long lifetime and valley polarization lifetime of the dark exciton in two-dimensional heterostructures make them promising for long-distance exciton transport and macroscopic quantum state generations.…”

Why Zebras Don't Get Ulcers / by Sapolsky, Robert M., author 656050, Holt (Online service) 655998

“…Sapolsky focuses on the effects of glucocorticoids on the human body, arguing that such hormones may be useful to animals in the wild escaping their predators, (see Fight-or-flight response) but the effects on humans, when secreted at high quantities or over long periods of time, are much less desirable. Sapolsky relates the history of endocrinology, how the field reacted at times of discovery, and how it has changed through the years. …”

Piezoelectric single crystal based one-dimensional phased array for breast tissue imaging by Du, Wenya

“…I used a Yb/Bi-doped PIN-PMN-PT single crystal as the active element due to its superior piezoelectric properties (d33 = 2,800 pC/N, εr = 7,000, k33 = 0.93). …”

Wearable bio-adhesive metal detector array (BioMDA) for spinal implants

“…Accordingly, herein, we report on the development and engineering of a bio-adhesive metal detector array (BioMDA), a potential wearable solution for real-time, non-invasive positional analyses of osseous implants within the spine. The electromagnetic coupling mechanism and intimate interfacial adhesion enable the precise sensing of the metallic implants position without the use of radiation. …”

Deep learning approach to cervical segmentation from routine CT images by Duan, Yiming

“…To address the sequential and location-dependent nature of bone segmen tation information, the dissertation proposes a pre-training model for location information, and combines 2.5D image input and labeled multi-channel coding to semantically segment 3D cervical spine CT images. This method can accu rately extract the information of bone joint location of slices and incorporate it into image features in the form of channels, which can improve the accuracy of multiple bone joint segmentation and classification. …”

A Mixed Continuous-Discrete Approach to Fast Charging of Li-ion Batteries While Maximizing Lifetime by Berliner, Marc D, Cogswell, Daniel A, Bazant, Martin Z, Braatz, Richard D

“…In this article, we derive physics-based operating modes based on degradative governing equations, which are used to ensure safe use and minimal degradation during long-term cycling. The fast-charging protocols are efficiently and deterministically simulated using a mixed continuous-discrete (aka hybrid) approach to fast charging. …”

Language-guided visual retrieval by He, Su

“…To organize the discrete features, we propose a network called Hybrid Graph Network to capture both the spatial and locally temporal relationships between objects in the frames and also apply semantically matching between objects and words. To model the long-span relationships between activities in the two modalities, we implement a temporal encoder based on the attentive model. …”
